After scoring two goals away from home and creating a number of chances we would be forgiven for expecting three points, writes Shrewsbury Town Blogger James Pugh.

However, due to the amount of consistency we have shown this season and amount of bad luck that follows us everywhere, it doesn’t surprise me that we end up losing 4-2 against Bradford.

Gary Peters said at the weekend that we would attack teams until the end of the season and to our credit we did.

My concern now turns to our defence and I wonder if we have got enough quality to keep sides out.

To be fair to the team luck two of the goals were from deflections and the other from a penalty.

To me Kelvin Langmead continues to impress and I feel in Ben Herd and Marc Tierney we have got two quality full-backs.

I feel we are desperately short of a decent partner for Langmead, as Colin Murdoch and Darren Kempson have both been big disappointments.

Gary wants a new striker before the transfer window closes but I also think he should think about a new centre half because we are going to concede too many goals against the better teams in the league.

What is it with former Town players as well as those currently on loan performing so well for their clubs, yet when they play for us we do not see the best of them.

For example, Michael Symes has been a big disappointment this season and has struggled to score. Yet he scores for Macclesfield against MK Dons after just a couple of games.

I didn’t agree with Neil Ashton being loaned out and it didn’t surprise me that he starred for Macclesfield in their first game.

Similarly, players join the club with big reputations and in a short space of time we seem to ruin their careers. Most recent is Stuart Drummond who had been Chester’s player-of-the-season when we bought him. Glynn Hurst joined us with a reputation of being a goalscorer and he didn’t last long either.

Is it due to the player themselves or is it Gary’s tactics? I fear it could be the latter.

Saturday sees us at home against struggling Lincoln. Our home form has been pretty good recently and hopefully with the positives that have come out of the last few games we can get the three points.

I fear that if we do not go on a big undefeated run like we did last season and if we continue to slip-up then we may have to accept a mid-table finish and look to build for next season
